That's not a bad idea, though I don't really need to give any potential Pokemon characters of a story I write a nickname. As for your Steelix, if it's male, I'd name it Troy after Troy Polamalu, who plays for the Pittsburgh Steelers, an NFL team for the US.
See, they're called the Steelers because Pittsburgh was once the biggest producer of steel in the US. And many things in Pittsburgh are still all about steel. Many of its bridges are made of steel because of how much steel the city produced. You can still see old pipes from the old steel mills down on the Monongahela River waterfront. The biggest roller coaster in Kennywood out in West Mifflin (a Pittsburgh borough) used to be called the Steel Phantom, until it was remodeled into the Phantom's Revenge. Even still, it's a steel coaster! We even still tend to call Pittsburgh the Steel City or City of Steel, for one thing.
...lol that's a lot of steel in this post. Talk about steeling a piece of mind. ;D
